Ireland edits
Hi. I'm sorry to see you got blocked, particularly as discussion on Lordship of Ireland seemed to be drawing to a close. I know it's not a very nice situation to be in, but it's only for 24 hours which isn't a long time, so hopefully that will be enough for things to calm down a bit. I realise you're frustrated that things on these two articles aren't going your way, but the topic of Irish history and politics is, to put it as mildly as possible, controversial so it's best to try and keep discussion on the talk page and escalate things up from there, including possibly raising the issue at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. If you want my view, I'd love a drive up the County Antrim coast, and the road through the Cork and Kerry mountains between Glengarriff and Killarney is wonderful - and they'll still be there when you and I are dead and gone, and that's where I prefer my Ireland-related editing and reading to be focused on.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to International Association of the Congo, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Greetings Sire, I am really grateful and appreciate your warm reminder, that I almost forgot my act actually ruined the history. My most sincere apologies are delivered here. However, I found the page "Enlightened Spain blah blah blah" in a dire need to be moved to a more concise simple and straightforward title 'Bourbon Spain', and the damn move button keeps telling me that the latter is already occupied by a redirection page with the same name, so if you would kindly tell me what to do about this, you will be even more appreciated.

- You can read the instructions located at WP:RM#CM to request a move. Sro23 (talk) 00:14, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- I am sorry to inform you that my move does not fall into the category of a controversial move.
'There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title'
The existing page in my target title is simply just a redirect page with nothing. But still I could not make the change. Pktlaurence (talk) 00:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC) - ???!!!
- What the hell are you doing? You're moving the article to the Wikipedia namespace, and then to a completely gibberish article title? No need to be a complete vandal around here. -- numbermaniac (talk) 05:28, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
